My ⭐️⭐️⭐️ review of CONDEMNED boxd.it/gCvytN Entirely too chaste for such a lurid premise. Story of Devil's Island inmate & warden's wife needs to be hot & horny. Loved setting & Colman is dishy, but without promise of sex...central romance is rather anemic. But escape sequence is fun. #filmsky 📽

A ★★★ review of Condemned! (1929)
My advice: If you're gonna be the warden at the notorious Devil's Island penal colony, don't be a dumbass. It's as simple as that. Ronald Colman, looking impossibly young and quite dishy, plays a suav...

We analyzed some of Ford’s most controversial Toronto decisions and found they all target safe opposition ridings. Under first-past-the-post, unneeded ridings get sacrificed. Proportional representation ensures votes everywhere build seats, so no community can be steamrolled.
Infographic showing Doug Ford's targeted decisions affecting Downtown Toronto. A map marks bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge, and University, Billy Bishop Airport, and Ontario Place in opposition held ridings. Icons repeat these targets, stating safe opposition seats do not help Ford's majority, so they are sacrificed for suburban swing ridings.

#Edwards1000SixtiesMovies 491/1000: McHALE'S NAVY (the movie) To be honest, I felt that this theatrical film adaptation of the hit 1960s TV series starring Borgnine looked more like an extended special episode of the sitcom, and as a result, I didn't enjoy it much. One watch was already enough.
